It may seem unsual for Sony to release a PlayStation app for the iPhone, but this isn’t an app to play PlayStation games with, it’s more of an information tool for keeping up-to-date away from your console.

The PlayStation Official App as it is called, allows you to sign in to your PSN account using your ID. Once logged in you can:

Keep up to date with your trophies, friends’ games and online status

Check out all the latest games, news and hardware

Read all exciting announcements from PlayStation.Blog

This is version 1.0 of the app suggesting Sony intends to update it with more features in the future. The good news is it’s free to download and use.
